What is this knife?what does egw stand for on the knife?

See below. It's a mean looking knife. Hope you're going to use it sensibly.

This knife is based on an original made by E.G. Waterman of San Francisco and reproduced in painstaking detail. The blade is razor sharp and made from hand forged high carbon steel, heat tempered in a computer controlled kiln. Unsharpened reverse edge. Bottle opener built into the shoulder of the blade. Stamped "E G W KNIFE" just like the original. Pommel has lanyard ring and top grained leather sheath is reveted and sewn with waxed linen thread. Fits belts up to 2 1/2" wide. Overall-11 3/4", blade-7" long, 3/16" thick. Weighs 10 oz.

might be hand made look up sheffield knives cos they used to stamp their work and still do. Very few off them old boys left now - even the Arabs buy them because of the equisite quality - yanks like em too but they like out MOD and parangs other than that they use them as posh cigar clippers the dreadful oiks - love em really just got no sense of finesse but they always think they do.

But thats my guess so get busy on the net and the other thing not commonly known they used to make them out of silver (us not the Yanks they are not that eccentric )
